Hello guys,
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, but I'm going to ask anyway.
I need some support regarding a Windows Server 2016. For a while we were using Windows Server Backup for rudimentary backups, now suddenly the backup won't run anymore. I searched for the problem and got the point where I ran sfc /scannow for to generally troubleshoot the windows installation.

Yup, there were corrupted files that sfc couldn't fully repair.
Trying to repair the servere with dism didn't fix the problem either. If I run dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth it says that the source files were not found with error: 0x800f081f
So I tried it with the source-parameter, trying to fix it with a different server (2016 as well, same patchlevel): dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth /source:\\otherserver\c$\windows\winsxs but it errored out with the same problem. Windows Updates will install fine, though.

I tried running SFCFix as well, but it crashes with the rror "something has gone horribly wrong".

What can I do now?
Thanks in advance!
- Max
